New Content Libraries Added to Your My Evolve Content List

Recently, there were changes made to our password requirements and to your “My Evolve” content list. In addition to seeing links to any of your applicable instructor’s courses, you’ll also see additional links to all of your available products with a “content library” label. This allows you to access the content within your products even after your instructor’s course is completed. To get to your courses, please click the link that includes the “course ID” and the instructor’s name displayed underneath it. Your instructor’s course may be contained in a folder, so if you don’t see it, look there. In addition, you can create a folder to store your “content libraries” to prevent confusion.

Using an easy-to-understand approach, this resource offers a complete foundation in the basic and advanced clinical skills you must master to achieve clinical competency. It describes dental assisting procedures with photographs and clear, step-by-step instructions. Written by Doni Bird and Debbie Robinson, two well-known and well-respected dental assisting educators.

A glossary provides a quick and handy way to look up terminology, with chapter references indicating where terms are introduced and discussed within chapters.
